Intel Vintage

I received a Computer Science degree from Penn State University.  I designed and wire wrapped early Intel 8080 and Motorolla 6800 systems starting in 1975.  Interesting letter from Intel dated August 1975 states that the 8255-8 that I received was from a limited production run that had an incompatability with the 8080 when operating at full speed and should be used as a prototype at room temperature.

I wrote operating systems, assemblers for the 8080 and 6800 and also emulators to simulate the 8080 and 6800 on the IBM 370/168 mainframe computer. 

I like vintage computer systems and have several old Intel University B Kits from 1975 with 1x 8080A, 1x 8224, 8x 2102A, 4x 1702A, 4x 8212, and 1x 8205.  Back then it was only $20 for the kit.

I collect vintage computers and have an IBM mainframe 360/65 and 370/145 and 3705 communications controller front panels with display lights and switches.  I also have IBM 360/22 processor modules and core memory planes, IBM 3803 Tape Controller Unit and various other items.
